Learn how to give an entertaining, and original speech.

Though Don Aslett is known mostly for his books on cleaning and organization, he has also written an excellent book on public speaking. I am a high school student, and speeches have always scared me. However, when I began to read Don Aslett's book, I decided that maybe speeches are not so bad after all. This book offers tips on preparing your speech, how to dress, and even ways to "recognize" important people in the audience you are addressing. There is also advice on speech length, adding humor to your speech, visual aids, handouts, and more. At the end of each chapter some questions are included to make sure you paid attention, and understood it. I believe however, that the most important things about the book is that it helps you relax and have fun preparing and presenting your speech. I recommend this book especially to nervous and not-so-nervous high schoolers. It will definitely help you with your speech.
